PUBLIC COMMENTS
Clean and Tidy Our County President Fern Siebert updated the Board on her organizations
Bottle Cap Collection Program, stating they have cleaned, sorted and recycled more than 21,000
pounds of bottle caps. This resulted in the creation of more than 100 park benches, seven picnic
tables, five bird baths, six landscape timbers, eight flowerpots, and two stools. Ms. Siebert continued
saying the response to their initiative was overwhelming and they are in the process of handing the
program over to another organization. She said 80% of the bugs have been worked out of the
program and she's hoping another organization will take it over soon so she can walk with them and
help them get their footing. She ended by thanking the Board for their support and letting them
have drop sites across the county.
Clerk of Courts Ray Phillips made an end of year report,noting that his department was not
in the news, drama-free and was quietly getting work done,which was the platform he ran on. His
goal was to have everything done before the office moved from Courthouse Square to the
Courthouse in June,which did accomplish.
According to Mr. Phillips,he had a monumental task with there being files on top of files
falling over, describing it as a "mess!" He thanked the Board, Chief of Staff Daryl Price, the Courts,
Row Offices and, especially Human Resources and Adult Probation that sent light-duty workers
over to help. He also gave a shout out and kudos to his staff,mentioning Deputy Clerk Stacey
Andronas,Tammy Mankey, Kathleen Miller, and new employee Rebecca.
Prothonotary Laura Hough said she just wanted to thank the Board and all those who
support what they do in the county for their hard work, dedication,being such a steady guiding hand
and for bringing forth so many new ways of doing things. She continued saying, 2024 was a fantastic
year and she is looking forward to 2025. Ms. Hough ended by thanking her dedicated staff of 13,
saying it is an ever-changing office where there are more than 2,000 types of documents being filed
and they perform their duties with a smile. She also thanked Chief Clerk Cindy Griffin, Human
Resources, the Controllers office, Clerk of Courts office, and everyone.
COMMISSIONERS'RESPONSE
Responses to Ms. Siebert's comments.
Mr. Sherman thanked Ms. Siebert, stating that 21,000 pound of bottle caps not going to a

she does for the county.
Mr. Maggi stated he has seen her cleaning up along the sides of the interstates. He
continued, noting that Ms. Siebert is a true treasure to Washington County. Her efforts are truly
appreciated.
Ms.Janis added Ms. Siebert's shoes would be hard to fill.
Responses to Mr. Phillips' comments.
Mr. Sherman thanked Mr. Phillips, saying he echoes what he said. He knows Mr. Phillips
inherited a little bit of a mess and applauded him for having the office fully functional again.
Mr. Maggi expressed his appreciation for not seeing negative news about the office and
noted that reading positive stories about Mr. Phillips'wrestling coaching is far more enjoyable than
encountering humiliating news.
Responses to Ms. Hough's comments.
Mr. Sherman thanked Ms. Hough and her staff for all the hard work, mentioning that he's
aware they are going through a huge undertaking with the challenge of going paperless and saving
some trees. He said he wouldn't want anyone else to do it and expressed his gratitude.
